knowing what his assistants allegedly did as an act of political retribution against fort lee's mayor and apologized. >> so far we have not done any direct email traffic, text message traffic or anything that has the governor's name on it. but, obviously, we also didn't ask everybody in the governor's office for their email communications. >> state lawmakers say deputy chief of staff brigitte antelli and christie's former campaign manager both fired for the coverup and may be called to testify. >> rushed to flush out the water supply after a chemical spill. officials say people in nine counties in the state still need to assume their tap water is dangerous. >> don't make baby formula with it. don't brush your teeth with it don't wash with it don't shower with it don't drink

it it's not a boil advisory. it's a do not use advisory. >> chemical company, freedom industries has been ordered to drain its tanks but officials say it could take days for the water to be safe to use again spheem sent 57 tractors loaded with bottled water into the region last night. this comes as the government announced it is opening an investigation into the still spill. companies are sending truck loads of water into that area. target's massive security breach may be much worse than previously thought. now the retailer say 110 million americans nearly one third of the country could be at risk not just people that shopped over the holidays but at any point in the past. hackers gaining access to names, were email addresses and phone numbers. >> i didn't think about that. i bought something now i'm scared. >> everything is out there. i would imagine just about anybody is susceptible to some of this now.

>> experts say the best way to find out if your information has been compromised is to watch out for strange emails and check your bank statements. that's a lot. >> it's unbelievable. speaking of unbelievable. our own rick reichmuth has been meeting with santa at the north pole or somewhere very far away. >> you have no idea how close i felt yellow knife, canada 200 miles from the artic circle. i said on a prior show that i was obsessed with rudolph the red nosed reindeer when i was a killed because it looked so cool. this is exactly what it looked like. >> aren't you going to bring pictures. >> vacation photos at the end of the show. slide show that he we're going to put of all my vacation pictures. it should be thrilling for you. here is your current temps as you are waking up this morning. 50 degrees warmer than you were earlier this week across the northern plains. still in the upper 20's. a far cry from air mass that was here. because the warmer air is in

place a lot of the rivers have frozen and now they are starting to melt and we have that big threat of ice jams as we are going to be seeing significant rain move into the northeast over the weekend. flooding ice jam flooding happens very very quickly behind any of those ice jams that are not being able to get through down the rivers. here is the big mess going through. rain across the southeast. rain in towards the northeast. it's not snow. in fact, there might be a little bit of snow around the great lakes. for the most part it's all rain for anybody. snow on the ground melting, not good news obviously for the ski resorts. the southwest is great. but this is really potent storm moving into the pacific northwest. s around 70 miles per hour and significant rain. we have threat for severe weather down across the southeast. especially the carolinas and southeast virginia. get ready today for a few tornadoes and strong winds. all right, guys. >> thanks, rick. >> you bet. >> finally, finally, finally, someone responsible for the botched obamacare and healthcare.gov rollout has been fired.

we have been waiting to find out if any shoes were going to drop in this. finally, turns out the company behind it, the corrected company, cgi, the web site builder behind it all has been conditioned. they are being plea replaced with another company with some questionable ties to the government as well. accenture. accenture which is global consulting firm essentially. and it's going to be costing taxpayers $90 million to get this thing going, what this contract for 12 months is going to be. the questionability that you are talking about is they are in a middle of a lawsuit for $60 million for kick backs for hardware and software being used. this was with the federal government, folks. >> i have no idea if they did anything wrong watching what the feds did with jp morgan i have serious doubt whether these folks are guilty or not. the government said they committed fraud. by the government's admission they are fraudsters and now they are

hiring them. the interesting people to get fired are not obama employees but canadian company. contractors. kathleen sebelius is still running h.h.s. >> right to. your point about what they did, it's interesting that they took -- well, allegedly took kick backs. so referencing software, you get brought in on these government contracts and then you tell the government hey you should use this particular piece of technology. you should use this particular piece of software. and then when they actually end up implementing those pieces of software in the government, they get a little money on the side from those companies whose technology they implemented, so it will be interesting to see though they have another month yet they are being canned but still have another month to be up and running. if you don't want to be cynical about it they are the ones that actually built california's medical exchange web site and it's the only one that worked. they actually built it and it didn't have all of the problems that the main government's web site. >> the problem here isn't the software or othe contractor. it's the ideas behind

obamacare. they are essentially unworkable. by the way they are essentially political. as if you needed more evidence. new details about the i had immediate aftermath of the obamacare meltdown which began october 1st when the web site was rolled out. we now know senator mark you yiewddle had someone from his staff call the colorado department releasing numbers said stop it those numbers are wrong. >> not even just get on the phone to call them some saying this is worse than what chris christie did with bridge closures. change the dynamic on how many people were losing their policies on the state was it 250,000? mark udall says it has to be lower than that. go to the public with a much lower number so it doesn't

seem bad. >> he was saying to the "the washington post" was the first one to report that i believe. but, regardless, 250,000 cancellations, the reason that he wanted to create this record know it was the denver post actually who he spoke to. the reason he wanted to correct the record is he said these people, many of them got the cancellation notices but also told that they could get it reinstated, you know, but they would just have to go through that, you know, the hassle of doing all of that regardless though. >> and pay more by the way. >> it's a headache to have to do that though. >> still a cancellation. that's not fudging. >> cancellation and worried about what kind of healthcare you are going to have. what are you going to do for your doctor and if your kid gets sick and you have to go through the paperwork again. >> if it's ridiculous if i steal your car and given you a bicycle instead have i stolen your car or traded vehicles with you you are fine you have another way to get to work. no you stole my car. they cancelled these people's insurance.

mark udall for political reasons tried to prevent them from saying that outloud unbelievable. >> senator udall said our numbers are wrong, they're not wrong. cancellations affected 250,000 people, they want to trash our numbers. i'm holding strong while we get more details. many have already done early reniewlsz, regardless they received cancellation notices. again, come back to that chris christie point members of the g.o.p. are saying this morning these people got fired for closing lanes and causing all the havoc that they closed with the bridge closure. no one has been fired yet. none of these members of his staff have been fired for trying to fudge these numbers same people electric it temperaturing you about science and data and we believe in technology and the facts. the truth is when the facts are inconvenient they try crush people who say so outloud. >> representative cory gartner was on the kelly file with megyn and he said basically this is an abuse of power. take a listen. >> there is a difference

between calling up an office though and saying are these the right numbers versus a hostile phone call, forcing a division of insurance employee to say we're standing strong. this was clearly an attempt to use an office, to use the staff to pressure a public policy maker into changing the numbers of people who have had their insurance cancelled. i think raises a big question about abuse of power. what we are dealing with here is a question of bullying and we need to get to the bottom of it. >> let us know what you think about that friends@foxnews.com. find us on twitter as well ff weekend. if you are from colorado, we would love hear your story this morning as well. >> it doesn't raise a question about the abuse of power, it answers the question about abuse of power. the question is did it take place? yes, it did. has anyone been fired for it? no, they haven't. >> 12 minutes after the hour this saturday. nation's unemployment rate makes dramatic drop but with only 74,000 jobs added last month can we say the economy is in recovery.

peter morici is here to break down those numbers. >> is paula deen planning a come back. she says she will move forward in 2008. get your coffee, come back in time for that we have details. so ally bank has a raise your rate cd that wothat's correct.a rate. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons. look, you don't have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. if our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. oh that sounds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

numbers are in and unfortunately far from recovery. shows the unemployment rate dropped to 6.7 percent of in december. employers added only 7 had thousand jobs. that's way below what economists expected and of course hoped for. what's worse. 92 million people have dropped out of the works force entirely so. what does this add up to. here to tell us is economist and university of maryland professor peter morici. thanks for joining us this

morning. >> good morning. >> tell us what the real numbers are should would he be paying attention to the unemployment number in the first place or is there a more honest way to measure the state of employment in the u.s.? >> well, if we look at the percentage of prime working age adults that actually have a job it's gone way down. if we look at the percentage of adults that have given up entirely, it's way up. it's a lousy jobs market so. bad that many people are discouraged and also and have quit participating and many others are working part time say they want full-time work but can't get it. this is very frustrating to those of us. most of us would fall in this category. you want the actual facts, the reality of it. why do we use this fake unemployment number. >> there is no one number that gives you accurate reading. when a doctor does your blood test. for many years the

participation rate did not fluctuate this way. it did not think dramatically. and reasonable indicator where we are it is time shift focus. only added 74,000 jobs last month. that's about half of what we need just to keep up with population growth. >> so the problem and this, i think, has direct bearing on the immigration debate. the problem is not that they there are too many jobs and too few americans. there are jobs americans aren't willing to do. it sounds like there aren't enough jobs. >> well, there actually aren't enough jobs. the president keeps saying let's send more people to college. look at all the college educated people working in starbucks. but, worse, we have more college degreed people working as janitors in the united states than we do engineers? >> that is horrifying. at some point it seems like we are going to need to reassess the basic assumptions we have about the path to success in america. do you think we're going to do that? do you think we are going to

stop telling all of our kids that all of them need to get four year degrees? >> well, either that or we are going to be in the european situation where there are millions of people with four year degrees who simply can't find work. more fundamentally, even if they don't get degrees there won't be work for them. we have to get the economy growing. and mr. obama's policies, president obama's policies are basically redistributing income and so forth. they deal with the symptoms of unemployment. they don't deal with the primary causes which are his policies. excessive business regulation, restrictions on the development of domestic energy. not adequately assisting manufacturers, penetrate asian markets where the real growth is all these things add up to a 7, 8, 10 million lost jobs which would get the economy really cranking again. >> if we can just change the measurement to where people who drop out of the job hunt are counted as unemployed, i would be a lot happier. peter morici, thanks for the clear and plain-spoken explanation of what's actually happening. i appreciate it.

their heads all the time. having too many ct scans can hurt brain development. >> that's the risk for ct scans. when we fall and get injured first reaction is to go to the er to get a ct scan to the brain make sure there is no bleeding. for kids it has a lot of radiation and can damage kids' brain development. that's what we are worried about. especially in kids sings they have so many falls, you worry about it. they get a lot of minor injuries. >> right. >> so you really want to look at whether they are having symptoms. if they are having a lot of changes in terms of their behavior. if they are confused. if they have bleeding. if lose consciousness that might be a reason to get checked out. otherwise, you don't want to automatically jump to getting a ct scan. >> another one ever these tests that maybe necessary is genetic testing which is becoming more readily available. you say it can cause anxiety. >> yeah. it's more the fact that if you are looking for something specific, that's the thing with any of these tests. if you are looking for something in particular it's great to get the test and get more information. if you are not sure what you are looking for it can cause

problems. let's say that you get all this information about what your own genes are are. it can tell you what your predisposed to get in terms it of medical diseases but it doesn't tell you what you actually have. so, in terms of anxiety, you are sitting there always wondering will i develop this disease or not? and that's heavy burden to carry for your entire life, right? because the genes aren't the things that are causing it to develop the disease. it's genes plus your environment. >> it could be helpful to know what to look out for but at the same time having that hang over your head can be debilitating for some folks. >> and for your family, too. if you find out what your genes are then your family members are at risk to develop the same things. they may not be ready to hear all of this. >> next we have the mri of the spine and doing that too often could be unnecessary because we are going to see wear and tear no matter what you say. >> i'm a pain management specialist. low back pain is so common. if people have low back pain for a certain amount of time, let's say six months or not getting better it is important to get checked out and an mri might be useful.

one of the risk that we see is people get mris repeatedly and looking for things to get better to go backwards. a lot of changes that happen under an mri are related to age. they see wear and tear on the disk, joints, arthritis might not get better. dangerous to try to correct it. >> in general, tests on the elderly may cause more pain and discomfort than it's worth? >> true. it depends how healthy they are. we look more not only at age but life expectancy. not because they are dying of something. if they are extremely old. if someone is dying. then you don't want to order a lot of preventative scans and things that could cause a lot of discomfort and might not be as helpful. >> dr. debbie, thanks for looking out for us we appreciate it? >> thanks some. thank you. >> coming up on "fox & friends," paula deen planning a come back, how the queen of southern cocking has a lot in store for you in 2014. plus, if s. your dog in tip

paint a picture of a president who does not trust his own military. one in particular says, quote: all too early in the obama administration suspicion and distrust of senior military office by senior white house officials including the president and vice president became a big problem for me as i tried to manage the relationship between the commander and chief and his military leaders.

>> according to our next guest, gates wasn't the only official to witness this. joining us now is retired navy commander j.d. gordon served as defense department spokesman. >> good morning. >> you noticed the switch between the mood that staffers noticed between the bush administration and the obama administration. can you detail that for us? an absolutely. everyone at the pentagon noticed the change at the white house. not just about closing it he said it was shameful. he didn't know anything about guantanamo. over 40 times. president obama repeated a lot of things about the detention facility that just weren't true. so i think a lot of people in the military realize that a, he didn't know what he was talking about and b, that he was blaming people that he shouldn't blame.

according to secretary gates in the book, that was the only thing that president obama really became animated about was repealing don't ask, don't tell which also rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and also these tremendous budget cuts. right now we are in the midst of $1 trillion in budget cuts to the defense department. that's going to hallow us out like in the 1970s, don't ask don't tell. what does that have to do with defending the country. >> you remember something nobody noticed or purge by military officers. >> i was in the studio on "fox & friends" about a month ago talking about the purge of senior military officers there have been about 200 senior military officers fired under president obama. that's the most in any recent presidential administration. we are talking about four star admirals and generals, colonels, captains. if there is any whiff of controversy president obama basically just wants to get rid of people. no second question asked just fire them. it's really terrible because it's weakening the terrible this purge of senior military officers. >> what do you think about

the unilateral nature of the obama administration really often being accused of not listening to military counsel? >> i don't think that president obama likes to listen to admirals and generals. i think he knows it all essentially. he has never lost an election. he has been very successful as the everything he has ever done. he distrusts the military. he trusts his own judgment and i think that comes through in the gates book. i also think it's important to note that in secretary gates book you can see how politically calculated president obama is and secretary clinton is. basically they put politics above national security decision to oppose the surge in iraq in 2007. important for americans to know especially as we move towards are 2016. >> so striking to hear you say obama was willing to fire top military brass for nothing when so reluctant for firing up his staff for screwing up obamacare. were they fired for protecting america or fired for reasons other than that.

>> most of it was either personal misconduct or allegations against them. one guy got fired for counterfeit poker chips. at the same time you have all out assault on senior military officers. is he letting as many al qaeda go go from guantanamo bay go. half of the 155 there now are going to be released going to a march today actually in washington. there is a march on the washington from this anti-gitmo coalition made up of groups like amnesty international and reprieve center for constitutional rights. believe it or not, these groups are linked to al qaeda financiers, communists and anarchist groups. these are the very people that president obama is trying to support in closing guantanamo. these are the people that he is trying to have their back. it's really shocking if only more americans knew about it, they would be outraged. >> all right. thank you former dod spokesperson and retired navy commander j.d. gordon, thank you for your time today. >> thanks. >> thanks, j.d. >> we all know the irs

targeted conservatives. who better than to investigate them than a democrat? is that even legal? we will debate it coming up. >> it worked for victoria secrets model but say no to pailio. the truth about the so-called caveman diet.

doj political donors irs attack on conservative leaning groups despite the president's pledge to fix this in a nonpartisan way. remember this? >> if you have got the irs

operating in anything less than a neutral afternoon nonpartisan way, then that is outrageous, it is contrary to our traditions. and people have to be held accountable and it's got to be fixed. >> but is this legally justifiable? let's hear both sides of this debate. we are joined by jonah spilbore defense attorney and trial attorney. nice to see both of you this morning. >> great to see. >> you doesn't pass the smell test but we are here to talk legal side of this. is this legal to pick an appointment? we are talking about barbara bosserman who was obama donor who head up this investigation. >> you you know, that's a very slippery slope. i'm going to air on the side and say it probably is legal but -- imagine this, clayton, let's say that you are being charged with something and the person in charge of prosecuting you is the president of your fan club. now, you might be able to be prosecuted legitimately, but at the end of the day, whatever the result of that prosecution, are we going to

think it's fair? especially if it's favorable to you. obama said himself in that clip. what we need is a neutral investigator. not somebody who contributed to his campaign twice. >> great point neutral investigator. let's take a look at then 00 screen, ken. these are the donations she made. 2 auto dollars, upward of -- over $6,000 do obama, obama, obama. >> right. jonna said probably legal. it's definite definitely legal. does it pass the shell test. no it doesn't. he would have been better off appointing somebody who didn't give any donations at all. picking somebody in her party if her investigation is ril critical of the irs? i think it's more credible because it's part of obama's world. the fact that he picksson that's a democrat. if that democrat comes out and did a white wash then obama a problem.

if that person has a problem with what the irs did i think there is more credibility and i think obama did it for that reason. >> that's interesting point, jonah. >> i don't know if we will trust the results of the investigation. if she comes back and says oh obama did wrong and yes we were targeting the conservative party then they are going to have conservatives going yea. if she says the opposite we are all going to be crying foul. we need an absolute neutral flat line person. >> can legally the doj spokeswoman came out and said, this it's contrary to department policy and prohibitive personnel practice under federal law to consider the political affiliation of career employees. so they really under the law they are not even allowed to look at this. >> they are not allowed to look at it all. neutral in terms of how they select someone. you can't select someone and say what earth are they? oh republican? i will select them or won't select them. you can't do any of that what's interesting, too clayton is who is going to be on the committee? she is going to be the chair of the committee. suppose on the committee there is five republicans and five democrats? that's looked at as a fair

committee and objective committee. it's not just the leader of the committee that makes all the decisions. it's going to be invest thorough committee. >> get back when the investigation wraps up. we will see if you guys are right. more "fox & friends" in two minutes. farmer: hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer. and our giant idaho potato truck is still missing. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere spreading the good word about idaho potatoes and raising money for meals on wheels.

but we'd really like our truck back, so if you see it, let us know, would you? thanks. what? wow...look at you. i've always tried to give it my best shot. these days i'm living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding.

don't take eliquis ifyou have an artificial heart valve abnormal bleing. while taking eliquis, yomay bruise more easily and it m take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

good morning. it is saturday the 11th of january, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. call it a hiring freeze. nearly 92 million americans dropped out of thework force and only 74,000 jobs were created in december. this morning, the obama administration is blaming the bad jobs report on the weather? really? and three months after its botched launch, the contractors behind the obamacare web site debacle finally get fired but in their place, another company with a history of defrauding the u.s. government. we'll tell you who is in, who is out, and most importantly, who is paying for it. >> and the woman crashes through a store but no is rushing to help her.

instead, they are too busy taking pictures. >> this is ridiculous. >> has our selfie obsessed society destroyed the good samaritan? "fox & friends" -- snap some pictures. don't jump in and help. e oh my gosh. "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. >> bagging donuts instead watching "fox & friends." >> or else. >> come on in. welcome to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. thank you so much vito bag of donuts. >> speaking of donuts it's 7:00 a.m. on the east coast time for a doughnut. >> what would you do if you had a car accident and someone just popped out instead of helping you just started snapping pictures? >> especially if you needed somebody be calling 11 and you had to go to the hospital and -- >> -- right. can you please dial 911 for me? stop taking your pictures? >> there are a lot of people

with nothing else to do but take pictures. that is the message of the latest unemployment report which you can read a bunch of different ways, the unemployment number has gone down. does it mean more people are working? no, it doesn't. the official unemployment rate now 6.7%. experts say the real unemployment rate somewhere around 13%. but here are the numbers you need to know. the number of people actually working, job age people who want jobs but can't find them has grown dramatically. the labor force participation rate is the number to watch. and it spells a real problem for america. >> it's bad news. hit its lowest rate since 197. the fewest jobs added in the united states since 1978. we are now at a real slowdown period. these are the jobs added in october of 2013. 200,000. then in november 241,000. now it has plummeted down to 74,000. but not so fast. some critics say yeah, it's just the cold weather. it was that polar vortex kind of kept people home.

>> that does happen. >> i know. maybe it was the other cold weather. all these other factors. other trends like average hourly e and as tucker mentioned the labor participation rate where hardly encouraging pretty terrible. >> essentially what is happening, people are giving up on look at work. a lot of the liberals baby boomers retiring, that's why they are leaving the workforce. really as as if these people are hang up cleats and having hard time finding these jobs. those jobs we just mentioned, over half of the jobs created were temporary jobs. >> by the way, two thirds of the people who looked for work in the last reporting period gave up, two thirds. just and once they give up. they are no longer counted. those people are not noted by the federal government as unemployed. they just don't exist, which is a completely dishonest way to measure a pretty straightforward question. >> right. so when you look

at that number. you think 6.7%. that's great. that red arrow and if that's all you see that's fantastic. peter morici on the show earlier this morning. he had comments about that little red arrow. take a listen. >> we have to get the economy growing. mr. obama's policies, president obama's policies are basically redistributing income and so forth our palliatives. they deal with the symptoms of unemployment. they don't deal with the primary causes which are his policies. excessive business regulation, restrictions on the development of domestic energy. not adequately assisting manufacturing, penetrate asian markets where the real growth is all these things add up to a 7, 10 million lost jobs. which would get the economy really cranking again. >> okay. so that's what an actual economist says. but listen to what the labor secretary says. he was once a city councilman from montgomery county maryland. so he really knows a lot about the economy. his name is thomas perez. one of the most radical members of the obama

administration. a guy who doesn't get enough publicity in my view. he says this: the weather is partly to blame. watch. >> i think the weather is a factor. i spent the christmas holidays in northern wisconsin with my family, went out, you know, each morning the last day i was there, it was 15 below. it's hard to build a house or build an office building when it's 15 or 20 below. it's not just that your hands are cold, but you physically can't do it because the materials in that cold weather don't stick. so, weather is undeniably a factor. >> so we are also coming off of the holidays which a lot of times businesses do some seasonal hiring. >> because the labor secretary went to wisconsin for christmas. >> he went fishing. >> he has decided this is part of, you know, the economic problems? he goes on to say do you know what the solution is according to thomas perez? more immigration. so we have millions -- we have at least 13% of the country is unemployed but we need to bring in new workers because

that will somehow help the unemployment rate? what planet are you on? >> and to his point about the cold weather if that's the case construction jobs at a halt you bring in more immigrant workers for jobs that are halted because of the weather? it doesn't make sense. >> exactly. none of it does. it makes political sense. whatever you think about immigration, we are not debating it this morning but they are both reasonable arguments on both sides. reasonable argument is not that a high unemployment rate means we need more immigration. that's a ridiculous nonargument. is he making a political statement and pretending it's economics and it's not. >> let us know what you think. do you think the cold weather is to blame? >> it could be. let us know. friends@foxnews.com and. if f weekend on twitter. now we have headlines for you. >> yeah we do on saturday morning here is ha we need to do. 22-year-old brazilian man facing charges after attacking a plane. claiming a plane heading from miami to brazil yesterday was going to be

attacked. crews was supposed to be on the threatened flight. they traced email and arrested him on thursday. few documents reveal there is no smoking gun to implicate new jersey governor chris cities city on the washington bridge closures. trying to cover up closing leans. lanes. governor has denied knowing what the assistants did as political retribution against sphirt lee's narrow and apologized. >> so far we have not done any direct email text message traffic or anything that has the governor's name on it. but, obviously we also didn't ask everybody in the governor's office for their email communication. >> state lawmakers say christie's deputy chief of staff and former campaign manager both fired over the coverup may be called to testify. the feds end a contract with original obamacare web site builders cgi. 90 billion-dollar contract will be picked up by accenture, a company that is

accused of defrauding the u.s. government by the federal government itself. the canadian based cgi federal was blamed for all the glitches with the problem-filled site since it went live on october the 1st. they are now saying they weren't fired, just replaced after choosing not to renew the contract. sky diving weighs next for former president george h.w. bush. becoming honorary member of the blue angels. 41 navy pilot. flight team just announcing their newest pilot on twitter. toted george h.w. bush was made honor hash tag blue angel welcome to the team, mr. president. hash tag u.s. navy. >> let's get it over to rick reichmuth now who is teeling with up and down temperatures. instead this last week was a mess out here in the snow and now it's pouring down rain outside. is this all going to ice up in the next few minutes? >> no, it's not. actually today we will be almost to 60 degrees in new

york city. >> what? >> so weird. >> wasn't it just 7 a few days ago. >> big changes in the temperatures all week long. the good news is it's going to stay at least warmer. we are not going to be seeing any of those kind of temperatures as cold as they were earlier this week at least we don't see any of that in the foreseeable future. temperatures looking not bad pretty much everywhere. in fact really warm across the east and today's departure from average how much can it differ? typical temperatures you see a big part of the country at least 10 to 20 degrees above average. important part to note is that nobody is below average today. tomorrow same. nobody really below average and we will warm up a lot across parts of the central plains. areas in the southern plains, 20 degrees above average. so enjoy it. it does mean that there is rapid melting to some of the snow and that's a problem. severe weather today also across areas of the southeast could include a few tornadoes across the carolinas as this front pulls off towards the east and in towards the north. it's going to be very heavy rain. this morning, freezing rain across parts of maine and in

towards new england. that gets on the roads very dangerous roads all morning long. it will turn to all rain this afternoon and melt some of that snow. >> so if you are in maine, stay in bed, keep it tuned here. >> safe choice. >> rick, watch this video. because this is shocking. take a look what happened when a car just crashes through -- first of all hits a woman. comes through the front of a store front in philadelphia, and instead of people coming out to help, they decide, you know what? we'll just grab our phones because i want to put this up on facebook. >> keep in mind in the left side of your screen there is a woman on the ground who has just been knocked down. there she is by a car driven by an elderly woman who somehow lost control of the vehicle. but she is on the ground you will notice that no one is coming to her aid. no one is coming to the aid of the elderly woman in the car. they are just taking pictures. >> 71-year-old lost control. this is a rite aid you are looking at in east rutherford, nowmg, she needed some help. she had minor injuries and had to go to the doctor for

it 18-year-old woman hit by the car refused medical treatment there. and said she was going to go to her own doctor. can you imagine either one of these women in this situation where nobody is going down there to help you up or to make sure you are all right or call 911? >> here is a challenge. are those dudes that are standing there by the way? >> yes. >> chivalry clearly dead. >> so about 50 years ago a woman called kitty genovesey killed famously in no. dozens of people heard her screams. papers wrote about it and books written about it famous case people's alienation from one another afternoon unwillingness to help. in this case i would like to see citizen journalists track down the people who took those pictures. i want their names. i want photographs of them. i want their facebook links. phone numbers and email address grs if you know one of the people in this video who rather than helping two women who took photographs for their twitter feeds. >> see if i can see these

guys. >> how decent -- desensitized. >> we are going to solve this rite now, america. i think on the screen there is a guy -- is there a guy in the lab coat from the pharmacy at the rite aid? >> where? >> he is not a medical professional. he stands 2 feet higher. >> very close. >> close to pills at least. let's keep going. keep rolling it, because just coming up, keep rolling it, and just stepping in the the sight here is a guy in a white lab coat. is that a pharmacist? >> i think it might be clayton morris,. >> no one is attending to the girl on the ground who has just been hit by a car here is the other deal. everyone had the cell phone in their hand already. couple of seconds later. clearly they didn't shuffle through their pocket to go through their phone or handbag or purse or what have you. we are so connected to them. they are always in our hand like this. we have no idea what's going on around us. you are walking down the

sidewalk and people are like this. running into each other. there are degrees of obsession. all too involved with our smart phones, when a car plows through the pharmacy and knocks someone over. i don't think normal people ignore the injured person. i don't think this is everybody in america there is something wrong. >> at least they got their instagram photos up and running. let us know what you think about that. also on twitter ff weekend. don't tweet us if there is someone laying there injured next to you. president obama wants the same man to head up the department's civil rights division. is he really qualified for the job? we will ask former dodge official next. >> remember her? sexy russian spy busted right here in the united states. she is back in action. that story next. >> with pictures.

in 1982 a man named wesley cook known -- daniel faulkner. he shot him five times including in the face. but his death sentence was overturned in 2001 thanks in part to the help from former naacp lawyer debo. president obama nominated him to head the civil rights division at the department of justice. joining me now is jay christian adams, the author of injustice, exposing racial agenda of the obama justice department. thank you for joining us this morning. this is obviously part of that racial agenda, no? >> it's absolutely part of the racial agenda. it is a full-court press on bringing the most radical,

racialists you can into positions of power to effect policy that effects american lives. in this particular case, adegbole worked on helping a cop killer a notorious cop killer. this wasn't just about giving him representation. this is what went on outside the courtroom. the fundraising, the rallies, the stoking of racial paranoia. the attacks on police departments. this is about bigger issues than just one trial. >> yes. and we should point out two things. one is he a former sesame street actor which is weird. and two he didn't assist in the original defense in the faulkner murder trial. this suspect later than when we knew that he admitted killing the police officer and admitted being anti-semite and lunatic anti-american et cetera et cetera. what would want to motivate someone to want to join his defense counsel. >> because he became a

celebrity among the radical left. that's the important thing here. he became a famous worldwide crackpot figure that represents american oppression of people of color. and that's why the naacp got involved 30 years later. this isn't about a trial. this isn't john adams representing the english soldier. this is about a cause of racial paranoia, rarnl antagonism, branding law enforcement officers as racist. about fundraising. this had nothing to do with the criminal justice system. this had to do with dividing america and keeping people in philadelphia convinced their police department was racist. >> why do we have to pretend the naacp is a legitimate group? know they had a storied group fighting lynching. in the past they have been totally discredited. they don't represent all blacks. they are be a jungt part of the democratic party. they are bankrupt both ethically and literally.

why are they taken seriously still. >> a lot of people don't anymore. 50 years ago the naacp was a moral organization, but they have lost their moral core. they used to stand against segregation and division. and now they stand in favor of it hillary shelton goes on fox and smiles and talks about how this is nothing unusual. it is unusual. the naacp today represents racial division, keeping people out of universities that are qualified because of their race. they they have come full circle. modern segregationist of the past and nobody should take the naacp seriously. >> so many people do. thank you for saying that what you have said is true. jay christian adams thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> son paid ultimate sacrifice for freedom in average. what do they feel about what secretary gates had to say. stay tuned for their views. he was fast asleep and didn't know this was happening right outside his house.

it's a burglary wakeup call you need to hear. stay tuned. how are things with the new guy? all we do is go out to dinner. that's it? i mean, he picks up the tab every time, which is great...what? he's using you. he probably has a citi thankyou card and gets 2x the points at restaurants. so he's just racking up points with me. some people... ugh! no, i've got it. the citi thankyou preferred card. now earn 2x the points on dining out and entertainment, with no annual fee.to apply, go to citi.com/thankyoucards and our giant idaho potato truck is still missing. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere spreading the good word about idaho potatoes and raising money for meals on wheels. but we'd really like our truck back,

anna, what do you think? >> meow, right? 24 minutes after the hour now. well, the white house doing major damage control after former defense secretary robert gates memoir claims president obama was not committed to the war in afghanistan. it's disturbing news for military families like billy and karen von who lost their son navy seal aaron von when thinks chopper was shot down over afghanistan. billy and karen authors of the book "betrayed" are my guests this morning. once again, sorry for your loss. >> good morning. and thank you. >> now, you know, these revelations that have come out about the president and not necessarily believing in his own policy. is that something that makes few feel like your son died in vain? >> i will tell you it doesn't shock us, anna. as you said in the book "betrayed," we point this out o, the book that we have written. secretary gates validates what karen and i have been

saying for well over a year now. yes, we are afraid that aaron's death and many others in afghanistan was in vain because this president has made it clear he did not intent to win the war and as americans continue to die the blood gets deeper and deeper in the oval office. karen pointed out in 2012, before the election, the numbers, the numbers don't lie. you may not be a bush fan, the numbers are clear since obama become president of what's going on now. >> what are those numbers, karen? >> well, just one simple factor that will shock you possibly is that the death toll in the first 8 years of war in afghanistan was 1,000 american men and women. in the next 27 months after this president took office, we doubled that number. another 1,000 men and women died. even more staggering is the number of wounded in action. 2600 something men and women wounded in action in the first 8 years of war in afghanistan. after this administration

took their reign over this war, that number went to over 15,000 in the next three years. and like billy said, numbers don't lie. we point all this out over and over again, we want america to wake up and understand this commander and chief does not have the back of our defenders, our defenders deserve to be. step up to the plate and say enough is enough. >> take it back to secretary gates memoir that just came out. is it something where you think he should have come out even sooner? is he a hero for doing this now and possibly saving more blood shed or is this something that should been done down the line after the administration was out of office, something historians should have judged instead? >> well, anna, i think that absolutely he should have done it sooner think about husbands, wives, fathers and mothers who have lost their

welcome back, 44 minutes past the hour of the target says the personal information of 70 million people could have been stolen in that credit card security breach. 30 million more than they originally set. how does something like this happen and what do you need to know to protect yourself. let's ask security expert morgan wright. welcome back to the show. >> hi guys how are you doing? >> i'm doing well. what do people need to know about this? >> well, clayton, what happened was this wasn't a breach of the internet or online shopping. this was a breach of the actual target information systems itself. somebody was able to capture all the swipe data from the point of sale terminals where you swipe your card when you go to target. this was collecting data at a physical location but probably getting it at one central location. so they got and now that breach is up to probably 110 million according to the latest reports yesterday. so that's credit card data. user rain. email information. addresses, things like that. the whole recipe you need

for identity theft. >> this isn't, you know, educate me on this. my initial thoughts were this is credit cards. just straight from the credit card companies. but it's in between the customer and credit card company. >> absolutely. >> that was breached. nothing to do with visa or american he is express? >> no. >> what happens when you swipe a credit card, target doesn't process the credit cards themselves. they use another party to do all their credit card processing. but it goes through their system. so somewhere between where it was swiped and where it was processed somebody is collecting all of your information from your credit card. >> so do we know who did this and how they did it? >> you know, there is a couple theories out there. i mean obviously somebody is looking to make money from this so there has to be an element of planning and organization behind. this could it be organized crime? on the other hand, there is a lot of thought about whether or not this involves somebody on the inside. because this was not an easy thing to do. not an easy target to hack. they understand they are a target for this. no pun intended. the point about it is that somebody either had to have

a lot of knowledge inside or somebody was able to spend a lot of time outside from inside the network without being detected to do the reconnaissance to be able to plan something like. this fascinating. what should potential victims do? many people went there to shop for christmas presents this year. what should we do first? first thing you have got to do is check your credit -- you know, monitor your your credit card. anything that you use. if you have a debit card. change the pin on your debit card right away. if the bank will allow you, change your account. it costs money to do that it costs the bank something. if you feel have you been compromised do that if you have a debit account i know this is tougher. if your debit card is linked to your mortgage and bill bills. you don't get the same protections that you do with a debit card than a credit card. you could end up losing a the lo of money for a long time until you get it back continue to monitor that. >> good advice when you go through credit card transactions at the counter, don't do it with your debit

card pin hit cancel and go through it the credit card processing at least the credit card companies can protect you, right? >> well, with the debit card you still don't get the same protection as a true credit card. however though, because you are not using your pin, you do -- they are not getting your pin data, they could still take your credit card data. the electronic funds transfer act still limits your liability to $50. but it's going to take you a long time to get the money your money out of the account where if you use a true credit card you are using somebody else's money which is the credit card companies. >> is this just the state of affairs thee days or a way to protection you future. >> this is the snap chat conversation too is there any privacy anymore? what can we do? is this the new normal? >> this is not something that a consumer could have prevented against. all they can do is take action now that something has happened. this is at the level where companies and corporations have a responsibility to protect this kind of data. this is just the tip of the iceberg for target in terms of not just trying to fix

this lawsuits. class action lawsuits. these effects will be felt far down the line. you will see some changes come out. one of the biggest changes we have got to do is get away from the imagine stripe to encrypted chip on the credit card. >> that's a good start. seems like 1980s technology in there morgan wright. great to see you this morning. thanks so much for great perspective on this. >> you bet, clayton, have a good morning. >> coming up on the show. america hits the hiring brakes. bad unemployment report shows the country on the wrong track with thousands dropping out of the workforce. simply giving up? governor mike huckabee here to weigh in live on that. then victoria secret stunner adrianna lema it helped her shed 20 pounds in the blink' an eye. should you say no to the caveman diet the truth about the diet. ♪

meat. as we have all heard for 50 years red meat will give us a heart attack and cancer and make us sick, right? early studies did suggest that was true but more recent studies haven't found a connection between red meat and cancer or red meat and heart disease and red meat is one of the nutrient dens foods we can eat. lots of proteins. >> in your book you tackle an interesting angle to this. do paleo purists get their ire raised because of you? you are taking a tact that you are adding elements back in the book like cheeses and other things, chocolate that paleo purists say stay away. >> from i have taken flack from paleo purists. most of them understand that the modern research suggests that at love these foods like full fat dairy, dark chocolate are healthy when you tolerate them well. there is no reason to remove them from our diet because our paleo ancestors didn't eat them. >> eat like a caveman. non-starchy vegetables, you

from thes, nuts and seeds. you are adding in the chocolate though. one of the reasons that "u.s. news and world report" said it was not a good diet too strict for people to follow long term. is that why you are doing thnches that's one big reason. i think it's unnecessarily restrictive for most people. if you can't stick with it, it's not a worthwhile approach. >> you can go too far just because you are adhearing to a paleo diet doesn't mean you have to forego penicillin or brushing your teeth. >> you don't have to sleep in a lion cloth in the backward yard. >> you can if you want. >> this is the way we ate for thousands of years you you hate, you hate the question well we all died when we were 30 years old back then. >> that's a common misunderstanding. the average life span is shorter than our average life span today. let's face it life in the paleo was hard. sleeping outside. they could get attacked by a lion. had no emergency medical care. that's why they had shorter life spans and had nothing to do with their diet.

let's bring in governor mike huckabee now. >> good morning, governor. >> four -- your thoughts on ariel sharon. >> this was a man who was a very important part of the landscape of the development of israel from its inception through all of the wars in which israel was able to take territory that was all the way back to their biblical homeland. i would have to think that through all of the incredible successes that ariel sharon had, the one maybe blurensd was taking the settlers out of gaza, particularly out of gushkatiff if you have been to that area you have seen what has happened since it did not go well. 10,000 people forcibly removed from their homes by their own government, by their own army. soldiers were crying as they had to remove their fellow citizens from their homes it was a very very painful thing. its did not result in peace.

it resulted in more violence from gaza. it resulted in more rockets being fired into places like sderot: no matter the intentions, sometimes giving up land for peace is not a good idea. yet, that's not -- unfortunately it's the last thing people really remember about the ariel sharon. weighs considered the most brilliant military strategist in israel's history. >> incredibly tough man. >> yes. >> incredibly tough. >> speaking of giving up former defense secretary robert gates has memoir out. we have seen excerpts of it he says a bunch of interesting things in there one of the things he describes that's a little shocking is the weakness and confusion and ig nornsz of the president's foreign policy advisors. he even suggests that samantha power is helping to decide when and where to commit american troops. what's the overall picture of obama's foreign policy you get from this look? >> you remember ed klein's book the amateur? >> yes. >> it sort of validates that

whole process that this is a person who really not only didn't fully prepare for this role as commander and chief, but then failed to surround himself with the people who could have helped him. no one expects a president to go into office to know everything. and i have always said the most dangerous person in the room is the person who doesn't know what he doesn't know. this is a president who doesn't know what he doesn't know. and he surrounds himself with people who don't know what they don't know. and the tragedy of that is when you are dealing with military, you are dealing with the lives of men and women. you are dealing with the peace of the world. this isn't an x box. this isn't a game. this is the real deal. when you commit troops to battle, and you put them in harm's way. you better have a clear understanding of what the implications could be. >> he talks a lot in this book also equal opportunity. goes after a couple people here and presidents. president bush, too. he went after president bush for removing resources from afghanistan into iraq. what did you think of that? >> there was a lot of

criticism during the bush administration because vice president cheney, in particular, kept talking about it and donald rumsfeld even more so about a light footprint, you know, that we want to have more strategic troops but fewer troops. and i think, you know, if you look at robert gates' perspective, it's apparent now, it wasn't apparent then. but it's apparent now that he wasn't necessarily in complete sync with the idea of a smaller footprint. that if you are going to do it, go in and do it tee siively, more like the collin powell model which is go in with overwhelming force. have a clearly defined goal and once you hit it get the heck out of there and don't stay. >> governor huckabee what are the implications going to be in 2016 for example. secretary gates wept after hillary clinton and joe biden. we have this we can tell you. this is an excerpt from the memoir about vice president biden. i think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign

policy. national security issue over the past four decades. >> ouch. >> and on hillary clinton. hillary told the president that her opposition in 2007 to the surge in iraq had been political because she was facing him in the iowa primary. the president conceded vaguely that opposition that the iraq surge had been political. so, when you are hearing about this, and possibly not even believing in your own policy later, i mean, what kind of implications is this going to have? >> i don't think it's a big deal for biden because i don't think people are going to take biden seriously as a presidential contender in 2016. i just don't. somebody else. might be alternative to hillary but it won't be joe biden, that's embarrassing thing for joe biden but not surprising for anybody that followed his gaffed. all of them have been basically wrong. there is a huge problem for hillary clinton here. and that problem not only is what imeats said, but it's the fact that now there is sort of an -- a clear indication that she made decisions regarding the

military, regarding policy that were purely political in namplet people want leaders to believe that the best politics is just practice good policy. let the politics take care of itself. hillary clearly put politics first hoping that if she looked at her political interests then the policy would work itself out. and that's the polar opposite way in which it should be done. but add that to the benghazi issue that she is still going to have to answer for, and, you know, i'm just confident that there is going to be a much more vibrant democratic primary than most people are right now assuming there to be. >> i think that's absolutely right. that's absolutely going to happen. the new jobs report came out yesterday, 6.7% the new unemployment rate. we now know that number dipped solely because hundreds of thousands of americans just stopped looking for work. >> yeah. >> the obama administration, the labor secretary blamed these numbers on 00 weather. it was too cold for people to work. >> well, that's nonsense. and especially because typically in december there

is a jobs spike because you have the seasonal employment. people doing deliveries, people going to be gift wrappers and clerks in the department stores. there is an uptick in the job numbers in december. this was significantly down by almost, you know, 150,000 from what was expected. 74,000 jobs, is dismal. it's pathetic. it's embarrassing. it's really hurtful to people because it means that fewer people even could get a chance. i think what's really frightening, 92 million americans have left the workforce. 92 million. that's like a third of our entire population has just said we're not even going to try anymore. we are so discouraged that there is just nothing out there that we aren't even going to try. that is what i believe is the tell all number here. >> what are they doing? >> collecting unemployment and scrambling and looking at trying to live off maybe occasional cash job. the other part of this when you say 74,000 jobs were

created, how many of those were part-time? how many of those were under jobs. jobs that did not really give a person full-time, consistent employment to put the bread on the table that people need in order to take care of their families. >> and our producers are telling us that half of them are temporary jobs too. what do you say when liberals are trying say baby boomers just retiring. not people hanging up their cleats and getting off the field? >> nonsense. the population growth, nearly the number of people that are being born that are coming into the workforce, we're not even seeing numbers that meet that, that just keep us at status quo. so that's utter nonsense when people say that. >> do these numbers suggest to you that -- immigrants? >> the need for millions of immigrants. >> desperate need. the president says these numbers show we need a lot more workers. >> you ought to tell that to the 92 million americans that can't find work right now and tell them that they are not important, that their families and their ability to get their kids through school and,

put their own bread on the table from the sweat of their brow that that doesn't matter. let's just go ahead and write them off. >> will do you your show today because it's cold out? >> it's not that cold. it's never been so cold actually to fail to do our show. >> up to 60 degrees today. governor, who is on your show tonight. >> sammy kershaw will be our music wall guest. we will have some representatives. tucker, you will love this, from freedom works, the tea party, and my favorite group the club for growth. >> holy smokes. >> you know you want to watch that. >> the club for growth is coming on your show. >> how about that. >> you are a good man, governor. >> we will see. 8 p.m. on fox news channel. finally a sign of some accountability associated with obamacare. the federal government ending a contract with obamacare web site builder cgi. the 90 million contract will be picked by accenture the company accused of defrauding the u.s. government by the federal government itself. the canadian based cgi

well, when evidence surfaced that the irs was targeting tea party groups. president obama vowed to get to the bottom of it. >> if you have got the irs operating in anything less than a neutral and nonpartisan way, then that is outrageous. it is contrary to our traditions, and people have to be held account cannable and and -- held accountable and it's got to be fixed. >> that was seven months ago. they haven't done much to fix it since then. news directors of the tea party news network. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> barbara bosserman will be overseeing this investigation into political

abuses she a big time obama donor. >> big time. there is a lot of things the obama administration has done that you say i can't believe this is happening. the truth be told when she was appointed she was a department of justice trial attorney. we would have never known her ties to the obama campaign as high as they were unless it was for darrell issa, representative jim jordan pointing it out in a letter to eric holder saying we just don't think this is appropriate. >> just for our viewers, let's put the numbers up on our screen. here are ms. bosserman's political donations. 400 dnc, dnc. 3600 to obama from '08. 20,002,012. >> i am going to say this in her defense she is one of many government employees have actually contributed to the president's re-election. fifth largest cash cow of his re-election right behind google and microsoft, harvard and the university of california. so, in relation, she is just one of many.

what does this make a difference of? because when the department of justice came back and said you know what? we like your letter, thank you for saying it, but it's actually against our policy to look into our employees personal political contributions. if we were to remove her from this probe it would violated her equal opportunity policy. >> call opportunity of course is what the administration violated when it singled out opponents of the president's political program for special scrutiny from the irs. that investigation supposed to be going for seven months now. we learned this week the justice department hasn't even contacted a lot of the groups damaged by this. >> only about 10 at this point. do we actuallily expect anything to come out of it? the good news in presidential politics it's actually reduced in the campaign idea. go back to clinton and it cost 100,000 todd's have a lincoln bedroom. $7,000 you can get a government job more importantly the benefits and the government health insurance that goes with it all it takes. >> much higher than their private sector components.

want to put up on the screen the justice department response to this. we asked them for a comment. they said. this contrary to policy. prohibited personnel practice to consider the political affiliation of career employees or other non-merit factors in making personnel decisions which is, of course, the law but in practice a total crock. they are acutely aware of the political affiliations of the people they hire. >> this makes just as much sense as putting chelsey clinton in charge of the benghazi or pat nixon watergate. conflict of interest. they are appealing for her rights when they violated thousands upon thousands of tea party groups. >> i'm sure the rest of the media will be on this real soon. >> i will hold my breath. >> thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> up next on thedown, paula deen planning a come back. what she has in store for 2014, shear a hint, it's friday. with these smart pajamas your child's bedtime story is just a scan away. they tell the story for you.

launches an ad that let's you read to the kids. part of interactive experience lazy? >> lazy might be a powerful word. i think it might be a little inept and i will explain why. if you look around nowadays go to a restaurant with your kids. if you really pay attention, you will see any other kids in that restaurant their faces are buried in an ipad, cell phone, something of that sorts wanch minivan driving down a back back. what we have got to be doing relinquishing responsibility as parents to a device. >> gate way drug. more technology in interactive experience lead to more of these issues that thomas is talking about agree or disagree. >> listen, tom has a point here. technology is infiltrated our kids' lives. we need to talk about where technology can fit into our lives there is a difference between good parenting and bad parenting. if you are going to give your kid an ipad all day or put him in front of a video game all day, i don't

agree with that. there is something to be said for some of these really cool gadgets out there. teaching tools for kids. can you read to your kids. they can read. they can listen to the story. i'm a working mom. i last about 10 minutes reading a story to my kid a night. they get one story. maybe with this they get two stories. i think there is the tag readers out there and a lot of different things out there that is really cool. kids are on ipads in kindergarten. i think it's important that we use technology to teach and not necessarily use it as just video games and throwing stuff at them. and i think it's important to look at that. >> i think what we do have to be careful of however is that we have to recognize that our kids, if you are snuggling with your kid at night your kid isn't concerned about the story you are reading. he or she is more concerned with that bonding that connection that they're having with their parents, that physical energy that you are feeling, that love. that's what they're craving. they are not craving the machine, the video, the audio coming from some device telling them the story. they want to be with you. i think we need to keep that

in mind. that's what society needs to recognize. >> read a statement from the smart pj's web site they say we have children ourselves and understand how important bedtime story is for kids and how important a quality pair of pa jam in as is pajamas combined them two into one. truth be told i have these pajamas and. i have never launched the app. to play with it. >> i think it's really cool. look, could you imagine being a kid. you launch the app. and you do that and you scan and you teach your kid, i mean thrkts is way the world works now. everything is scannable. i think it's a teaching tool. i agree with you, i don't think it should take the place of reading to your kid. i think it's another way that you can let your child read. it's another way that they can listen to a story. it's another way to teach language. think think that that technology just banning it all in our lives is a bad thing. i think it does have a place. i think these are really cool. i like them. i will buy them for my kids. >> there you go.

morning, general, glad to have you this morning. >> good morning. >> why would members of the administration undermine the administrations statemented policy on afghanistan. it doesn't make sense. >> no it doesn't. that is certainly secretary gates' frustration. i have read that book and it's dripping with emotion over this issue. the fact of the matter is the best speculation i can provide is this they debated this issue in terms of what the war strategy would be as soon as they office. they being secretary gates, clinton and the generals. the fact of the matter is. >>, the president did side with secretary gates and clinton in and the generals to put in place a counter insurgency strategy similar to what was succeeding in iraq biden and company arguing for counter intelligence. went out to execute that

strategy. biden doug mouth and the other national security staffers never let go of the decision that they were advocating and brought back all kinds of evidence to indicate that the decision the president made was failing and that the strategy should in fact be changed. that's the best explanation i can come up with it. that clearly is undermining a presidential decision that is being executed and troops are on the field executing that obviously getting wounded and killed execute that. that's why it's so serious and why secretary gates speaks so strongly about it. >> here is is a quote been getting a lot of coverage this week this is about vice president joe biden. gates right writes. this i think he has been wrong on foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades. that seems to be a pretty sweeping condemnation of the vice president. what's your take on that? >> well, i was clearly surprised by the statement. and because he makes it clear that he likes joe biden on a personal level,

but clearly, has major problems with him professionally. and that statement is a back drop to the discussion that he has with his readers over biden at all undermining the strategy. i think that was the basis for it because he believed strongly that vice president biden and company were dead wrong on the strategy that they were advocating to the president and part of the rationale there is that he had been wrong some times, you know, before in the past. >> so he has got hillary clinton in the book saying that she came out against the surge in iraq just for political reasons. you served under a bunch of civilian leaders and a bunch of presidents. how disspiritting is it for our military leaders to believe that the policies they are carrying out result just of politics? >> well, i think most people know that politics are involved to be sure and a lot of decisions our politicians are making. i think what we would like to make when it comes to national security, when it

comes to war time activity. it seems to creep back in and it is pretty unfortunate when that does occur. >> general jack keane, fox news military analyst and always great to see you. thanks for joining us from d.c. this morning. >> yeah. good talking to you. have a great day. >> thanks a lot. general are president obama's endless entitlements the real reason why the war on poverty. are we creating a nation dependent on government? not ending poverty but perpetuating it? we will tell you coming up. >> if you don't believe in miracles, this one is for you. a man trapped under his truck for hours was frozen to the ground. how did he get out? well, we will tell you, his wife helped him but she was nowhere around. we will tell you how this happened. snows ♪ on wood ♪ baby ♪

degrees. >> unbelievable. i'm going to go play frisbee in the park. >> the good news about obamacare. someone has been held accountable. the bad news is they're canadians, they're contractors and don't work for the federal government. cgi, the contractor that built the website, has been fired by the administration. this many months after the debacle started. >> and still they get to be paid through february. for instance, if i want to develop some kind of technology, and i'm thinking of building this, they will call them to test the market to find out if it's viable marketplace for me to roll out a new technology. they made tens of billions of dollars for years off the federal goth. >> they started a new contract.

it will cost you the taxpayer $90 million more. that's your money, folks, going to fix this problem. when cgi did it they were in charge of the back end of the website. so that part will have to get cleaned up even more. >> you remember on october 1st when the obama website was unveiled and it didn't work. well, the state of colorado, the state insurance commissioner issued a statement saying 250,000 people had lost their insurance. this infuriated an ally of who said how dare you say that out loud? it's not true. they said, it is true. we have the facts. and he said no. the facts are political. be quiet. >> and the insurance legislator said that's not right at all. the numbers are wrong. put this up on the screen,

please. they are not wrong. cancellation notices affected 249,000 people, an exact number. today want to trash our numbers. i'm holding strong while we get more details. many have done early renewal ls. they received cancellation notices. so it was accurate. his office said we wanted to correct the numbers because they received notices but were also sent supplemental notices. >> regardless, isn't it a headache for you to deal with anyway? if you're getting a cancellation notice and wondering what you're going to do with your child if they get sick and you try to get a prescription filled and don't know if you're able to get a medication, it still matters. it's still a headache. it's still a stretch. those numbers are still worth reporting. on the meg and kelly show we had somebody who said this is clearly an abuse of power. take a listen. >> there's a difference between

calling up and office and saying hey, are these the right numbers? versus a hostile phone call. this is clearly an attempt to use the office, to use the staff, to pressure a public policymaker into changing the numbers of people who had their insurance canceled. it raises a big question about abuse of power. we have a question of bullying and we need to get to the bottom of it. >> it's all such a lie. if i steal your rolex and give you a timex in exchange. i can't look at you in the eye and say you have a watch. if i take your insurance that you chose and are using and give you more expensive and crumbier insurance, i'm taking your insurance. >> by the way, i want my rolex back. accentur who is taking over they in california built the california exchange website and did a good job with it.

however, they are being slapped with a $63 million lawsuit alleging they defrauded the u.s. government. the u.s. goth is alleging they defrauded them. now they're going to be working together again. and that's the point. after what the feds did to jp morgan. the head came up and criticized president obama. i have no idea if they did what they're alleged to have done. your point is the right point. the government says they committed fraud. now the government is hiring them. how does that work? >> they can't find anyone else. coming up on fox and friends week. a frightening sight on the slopes. what gave these skiers the scare of their life? and are president obama's entitlements the real reason the war on drugs is over? our panel is sitting by. they'll answer that question. stay tuned. i need proof of insurance.

well, the president says the war on poverty is far from over. yet, the more he's pushed for entitlements, like food stamps, the more the dependency on them seems to grow. are the benefits helping or creating entitlement nation as some has suggested. nice to see you all this morning. welcome you to the show. >> good morning. >> the president's policy is a pivot. brian, moving from what many have called a -- the president himself acknowledged a obamacare debacle and turning this to income equality. how does the president do that?

and is it a distraction from the other things that have gone into play so far? >> you disagree the rollout was a debacle. >> yeah, there's also rollout issues. but i think things are moving forward. i think there's a point to keep in mind. when you talk about entitlements, i hope you're also talking about social security and medicare. these are entitlements that they care about. and we have to focus on how to provide people with skills and how to provide people targeted resources to aid the poor to move forward. >> i think the issue is not earned entitlements like social security that you pay into. the millenial generation is very giving. we have no sentimental

attachment to it because we weren't around when those decisions were made. all we can see is the results. we still have a 15% poverty rate in the country. washington needs to look at all the governments that are anti-poverty. do they promote up ward mobility or long term dependency? >> isn't this what we're seeing? kids saying i don't need to work. i'm going to wonder the mountains and play guitar. i'm living off the government. >> it is. they're accustomed to this entitlement. i didn't have that growing up. get your own insurance. i think they are a bit entitled. how do we change this? motivate them by taking away the entitlements. but get them a job. our poverty rate is 15%. if you have one working person in the household, your poverty rate jumps to 4.6%. instead of letting the poor stay

poor and keeping them poor, let's get them a job and then they suddenly move out of poverty. >> is this a reversal of president clinton and republicans. obviously taking a card out of the republican playbook and not giving people a handout, but a helping hand. president clinton angry over the obama administration. it's not about new entitlements and new programs at all. it's about helping five cities, one in philadelphia and southeastern kentucky, to focus on what are the key issues we need to address timp rarely to get people out. i don't believe any democrat or republican wants people on long-term dependency. we don't want them in a situation where they can't afford to pay their rent or mortgage because of a tough economy. >> what more entitlements are you talking habit? under president obama, here's stats.

22% increase in disability. 48 increase in food stamps. 17 weeks increase in duration of unemployment benefits. >> that's because people aren't working. people are losing jobs. >> so why are we talking about things we know really affect poverty? >> like what? >> like stable families. like job creation through job training skills. they can't make jobs. this starts at a local level. and there are true conservatives like marco rubio who are looking to say i want to combat poverty. but i think we've all said it's not working right now. >> do you disagree that government can create jobs? >> government can help the private sector create jobs through the right incentives and structures. look at affordable housing. that's a public and private partnership. the president had a jobs act plan. the republicans refused to vote on. refused to work with him on. in some cases the republicans do have reasonable ideas on how to create jobs. when they refuse to come up with

their own bills, unfortunately rand paul and others are starting to have that conversation. >> take a step back. take away the overregulation. i'm an entrepreneur. i own several businesses. if you can make it easier for somebody to start a business, we can't do it right now. too much regulation. the exact same day you decide you want to start the business and get up and running. you have to get skills training for those who don't have the skills. that's something that's another conversation. >> that creates the cycle of poverty. coming up on the show, it took a family three years to build their dream home. in minutes it was gone. up in flames and as they dig through the ashes this morning, police are digging through the clues. you her from "the hills", one of tucker's favorite shows. audrina says it wasn't reality.

>> that looked like it hurt. >> the new season of first look premiers tonight after "saturday night live." here to tell us about it is host audriana. did that hurt? >> yes, it did. i guess slideboarding and jet packing are two different things. that was what you just saw. and i belly flopped and face planted so many times. it was pretty painful. but it was fun. >> viewers will be able to go with you traveling the country through all your adventures. what will they see? >> everything from fitness to foodies. you know, it's really a show for everyone. it's very enformative. rego all over the country. and i'm having the time of my life. it's a dream job. >> it looks fantastic. you started in television at 19, which is amazing, doing a realty

show. you've been quoted saying there's fakeness and falseness. you've done it for so many years. how fake is it? >> there's a fine line. there was a lot of realness to it. but there was also hyped up fakeness. so it was all combined. so i can't say it was all fake, and i can't say it was all real because it was a mixture. it was beginning to get a little morale, and then it started going into being manipulated. >> one example is there was a time when you and your boyfriend got into a fight and you were turned down for another girl kristin or something, and they told you to look sad and put your head on the table. as if you weren't feeling sad. they tell you how to feel sad. >> well, actually, i was with

someone else off camera. >> so you had a television boyfriend? >> so on camera, he had to turn me down. when i got in the car, they're look put your head down on the steering wheel. i'm like, i'm going to look so lame right now, you guys. >> would they like radio to you? >> no. you would have a walkie talkie and they would talk to you or you would have the cell phone and they would text you. >> were you ever horrified by how you were portrayed? >> sometimes i was. in some situations i had a lot to say and they showed me saying nothing. i was like, you showed nothing. i did not -- >> it seems like you have a lot more control on the new show. >> yeah, this is completely different. >> did you ever put your head down on a steering wheel and cry in a new show? >> no, i face planted a lot. >> what's been your favorite adventure so far? >> so far, we went water

rappelling in hawaii down waterfalls. the show is also kind of pushing my limits. i'm afraid of heights. so for the show the cameras are there. you have to suck it up and do it. you have to be adventurous and willing to eat and do anything. i'm up for anything. it's fun. >> that's great. we'll watch. the show is on tonight for the first time after"saturday night live." it's called first look. audrina. it's because we're doing the adriana lima story. that's not a bad mix up. great to see you this morning. >> thank you, guys. >> 28 minutes after the hour. this purple heart veteran was fired from his job at the the post office for serving our country. he's fighting back to get it back. and he joins us with the latest on that fight coming up. and driver plows through the front doors of a store. she hit a woman. no one is rushing to the injured

breaking news out of israel. ariel sharon passes away surrounded by his family at a hospital in israel. conner is live with the latest. >> good morning. sharon was considered one of israel's most famous and controversial leaders in the history of this country. the former special forces commando turned politician was in a coma for the past eight years after suffering a debilitating stroke in the height of his hour as prime minister. he was a controversial leader as a soldier and a politician. he was hailed as a war hero and as a war criminal. he was an early supporter of israeli settlements. later he did a 180 and led a total disengagement in 2005. sharon concluded that he needed to disengage on his own term.

they couldn't dictate the security or borders. sharon was 85 when he died, surrounded by family and friends. he is eligible to be buried on mount hetzel, however, after a state funeral he will be buried on his family's private farm. despite being a soldier and a politician he drims himself as a humble farmer. and now sharon was 85 years old. was controversial. was famous here. was an important person. there's no doubt in his legacy here it was controversy and an important part of israel's history guide. >> conor powell in jerusalem. what a beautiful backdrop. 34 minutes after the hour. we have other stories we want to talk about. a family's dream home goes up in

flames. the $4 million medieval mansion burned to the ground in the afternoon. flames and smoke as high as 30 feet could be seen as the fire ripped through the house. fire officials say intense flames spread quickly but the cause is still under investigation. no one was home at the time. they were thankful the dog managed to survive the act. wow, look at that. former defense secretary robert gates memoir is causing major ripples through washington this week. that problem is not only what gates said but the fact that now there's a clear indication that she made decisions regarding the military, regarding policy that were purely political in nature. i think people want their

leaders to believe that the best politics is just practice good policy. >> there's also concern about vice president joe booid iden a whether he can be taken seriously as a candidate. about biden gates said i think he's been wrong on every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades. a truck driver passing the through indiana pulls over to check his brakes in bone chilling below zero temperatures. the truck shifts, and he gets stuck underneath for hours. what saved him? his wife at home in florida miles away was so worried she kept calling and calling and calling. eventually it slid out of his pocket. he was able to use his voice command to call for help. tim and lisa joined us earlier to talk about the incredible story. >> i know i would have frozen to death if it would have fell behind me instead of in front of

me, i would have never gotten out in time. >> the trauma doctor said in another hour he would not have survived. >> technology can save your life. >> it says it took him about two days to warm up. a scare of a lifetime caught on camera. the bear had been seen dodging skiers during a race at the south lake tahoe resort. >> i saw it in there. any skiers? we'll find out. >> that would have been the headline. >> it's one of the things you're talking about more than anything else this morning. the shocking video of this car smashing sbo a pharmacy in east rutherford, new jersey. an elderly woman lost control of the vehicle. slams into another woman there just trying to leave the pharmacy.

others look like their get out their cell phone to take photos of the whole thick. not the woman behind the car or the 18-year-old who fell down onto the ground as you see the people that come up and don't reach out their hand to help her up or call 911. >> look at the lower left hand corner of your screen. someone earlier on twitter said, hey, get it right. that girl that got knocked down is there taking pictures, toochlt she could have been calling 911. she's standing there now with her purse. she got back up. is she also taking photos? there's also a pharmacist back there. she definitely got knocked down by the vehicle. the reflexive response to something like this you would think would be to come to this the aid of people involved. instead these people have their

devices out, which is really telling and pretty gross. >> the elderly one behind the wheel didn't have to go to the hospital and only minor injuries to deal with. >> it's an addiction, though. it is. as much as if these people whip out their crack pipes. the first thing they do, whip out -- >> they just walk over with it in their hands. we are so self absorbed. you're absolutely right. we're more concerned about the false sense of reality of social media than we are in the real world around us, nobody reached tout to give a hand. >> it was like the seinfeld reference. when kramer was recording the guy getting recorded when he was stealing something. remember that? remember that? no seinfeld? come on. >> rick, help me out here. >> i don't remember that one. you've lost me. i remember all the seinfeld references. no that one. >> i think he's making that one up. >> remember, he was getting robbed and he was recording it

and he department do anything about it? >> i don't remember that one. >> he was riding a motorcycle over a shark tank. >> that one i remember. all right, guys. both of the games, take a look at the weather map ls. the first game in seattle. you're looking at rain showers. winds around 30 miles an hour. and then go to the orn northern game. the northeastern game. boston is also going to be looking at rainy. not snow but rain. temperatures in the 50s. we start out this morning with freezing rain in the area. it's going to warm up enough that we're going to see heavy rain at times. it's going to a big, sloppy day. that's what we're seeing when the super bowl gets here. here's the rain that i'm talking about and the freezing rain across areas of the northeast. in the southeast we have a tornado watch in effect until 3:00 and a big line of storms

cut through the atlanta area. i said dullenaga. i knew it. temperatures across the northern plains. look at how much nicer it is. much nicer temperatures. we'll take it. no big cold air on the way. >> we forgive you for the name of the city. are viewers under the illusion you know how to announce every city in america. >> they appear to be. i did not one because i lived in atlanta. i had just been saying talladega in my head and mixed them up. >> you got them confused. >> coming up here, chris christie issuing a strong policy and taking action over bridgegate. how did he stack up against other political apologies with his press conference? and this purple heart veteran was fired from his job at the post office for serving our country. he's been fighting to get it back. he joins us with the latest on that fight.

new jersey governor chris christie issuing a strong apology and firing a top aide after scandals on closures over the george washington bridge rocked his office this week. watch. >> and i come out here today to apologize to the people of new jersey. ultimately i am responsible for what happens under my watch. >> so how does his apology stack up? here to weigh in is fox news contributor fred lunz. >> congratulations on the sale of your company. >> thank you. nbc partners bought me last week. i'm really excited about it. i have a $2 billion operation around me. i can do things beyond politics. it's an exciting time. >> great. >> and the way you analyze politics is second to none.

the way you analyze language is second to none. chris christie standing in front of the podium having to issue an apology for what unfolded during the scandal. take a listen to chris christie and we'll get your response to how he handled it. >> this morning i terminated the employment of kelly effective immediately. i terminated her employment because he lied to me. >> he's looking the reporters straight in the eye. the body language is powerful. he acknowledged 20 times in that one hour and 40 some minute press conference, which in itself is unprecedented. he answered every single question. there were reports who had to leave the room to use the rerm because he stood there so long. the fact that he was so direct and so blunt and did not run away from anything is going to hold him in good step.

i have one challenge to what some pundits have said on fox. it is a legitimate scandal. the responsibility of a government and the president is to improve the quality of the life of the people you serve. if you go out of your way to make it worse, you or your administration, you're accountable. >> what about all the the notes of the use of "i." i fired bridget kelly because she lied to me. is it really about you at this point? >> it's about his responsibility. if he had said we, people would argue he's trying to push it off on others. he is taking personal responsibility. which has not happened with the white house. >> good point. he said i'm taking full responsibility. the buck stops with me. but by the way, i'm blaming all these other people for the problem. do you disagree? >> if he didn't know it was happening, how can he be responsible for the problem? that said, it tells you the power of government. we have had in the last six months the perfect example of

what happens when government gets out of control. they actually start to hurt people's lives, or in the case of the president's health care plan, they start to destroy people's lives. this is living proof that government debt is too powerful. it is government that does damage to the people it's meant to help. >> some people praising governor christie for holding somebody accountable. heads are rolling on this. president obama is calling these phony scandals and nobody is being fired for them. take a listen to what president obama said. >> with this endless parade of distractions and political posturing and phony scandal, washington has taken its eye off the the ball. and i'm here to say this needs to stop. >> phony scandals? the irs behaving in a partisan political manner is phony? benghazi, where american lives were taken, phony? health care, where millions of people now don't have health care after the president looked

us straight in the eye and said you will not lose your health care plan? that's phony. i wish i had a chart. you could show point by point, christie and obama and how they handled these schedules, and you would be checking off chris christie each time for having it handle the way we wanted to. for having acknowledged responsibility. for having held himself accountable. that's what we want in politics. it's also clear what we don't want. get out of our lives. >> congratulations on the sale of your company. >> thank you. >> i need a loan from you soon. coming up here next, he's a purple heart veteran who was fired from his job at the post office for serving his country. he joins us on the latest fight to get it back. wisest kid? the girls and i need... a new activity.

>> welcome back a. huge liam victory more two bronze stars and a purple heart, fired by the u.s. postal service for what they called excessive military leave. if there is such a thing. a federal appeals court ruled the postal service must reinstate sergeant major richard eriksson and give him $2 million in back pay. he was overseas in 2000 when he learned he had been canned. he has been serving this battle ever since, joining us now with his attorney mr. eriksson, you found out you had been fired. what was the justification that the postal service gave you? >> well, i don't know if it's justified, but they said i was fired for excessive military leave. >> so i mean i would think that the postal service as a

quasi-arm of the u.s. government would make exceptions for people zev serving our country and defending our country. that's not the policy? >> you would think it would be the policy. in my case, no, that's not what happened. >> we reached out to the postal service, darlene casey a spokesperson said she would not comment on the ruling or how the post office reached it in the first place. what did you do? you sought legal counsel is that correct? >> i attempted legal counsel at first. it was too expensive. i pretty much had to walk away for a few years. down the road i saw an article about stereo cases and to give them a call. so i did and if it wasn't for the law firm, i wasn't be here today because it's so expensive. >> mr. estes, where are you in this case? it sounds like your client has won. >> yes, we have won several times already. the postal service for reasons we can't seem to understand

continues to fight. the next fight appears to be if regards to what we need to do to make sergeant major eriksson whole and get him the back pay and the benefits that he deserves. >> so have you seen this before? i don't know why, call me naive, i thought it was illegal to fire people, especially from government jobs when they're serving in uniform overseas. is it not? >> it is. and for non-career service members, there is a law the federal lawsuit protects their jobs. it protects them from discrimination. it's not just a policy of federal agencies. it's the federal law and we do see it quite often and more than people know and sadly, not every service member is able to afford legal counsel or find ways to fight back against either whether it's powerful government agencies or other companies. >> so mr. eriksson, are you starting back at the post office soon? >> we'll see what happens. this still isn't over yet.

>> okay. congratulations on your victory, thank youior your service to your country. we present you for joining us today. >> thank you for having us. >> more fox and friends coming up in just a minute. stay tuned. is still missing. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere spreading the good word about idaho potatoes and raising money for meals on wheels. but we'd really like our truck back, so if you see it, let us know, would you? thanks. what?
